When I started writing Go many years ago, I applied this same pattern from day 1, not because of some genius, but because these patterns are already proven and work.

@quii yeah, the Go community’s outage at any form of abstract computer science knowledge was the last drop in the bucket for me. After 4 years, I went back to Java where I’m no longer judged for writing code that has reasoning behind, and makes sense of decades of knowledge.
